## AI Review Analysis

Analyzed Sep 1, 2026

### Strengths

- The turn-based tactical combat is deep, and commanding a combined force of infantry, tanks, and mechs is compelling.
- Unit progression, equipment customization, and the black-market weapons progression provide strong immersion and high replayability.
- Operating mechanized forces such as tanks and long-range weapons is particularly satisfying and delivers a strong sense of accomplishment in battle.

### Weaknesses

- The current campaign is at a prologue-level scope and lacks a proper ending and sufficient story content.
- The core gameplay loop revolves repeatedly around squad upgrades, and the late-game content is considered weak.
- The difficulty is excessively high and punishing; squads can be lost from the very first mission, while certain powerful enemies limit available countermeasures.
